is two to five times higher compared to chilled water - this significantly reduces the amount of water and power required as well as the size of various equipment and distribution lines.Assoc Prof Linga explained, "While semiclathrate hydrates have been studied for purposes of gas separation, gas storage as well as thermal energy storage, the challenge lies in the ability to create them efficiently. NUS Engineering researchers will leverage our expertise in hydrate technologies and process engineering to identify a suitable semiclathrate promoter as well as develop a reactor and process design

of miles, depending on the vehicle configuration, with its 80-160kW hydrogen fuel cell power, and down to thousands of meters water depth. “The underwater range is scalable and in the region of 100s of nautical miles; completely sufficient for the current use cases,” he says. “Our gas storage system for the fuel cell is about three times superior to batteries with regard to energy per volume and even more regarding weight. However, if you want to cover more than a 1000 nautical miles, we would recommend a near-surface transit with a more conventional e.g. diesel-electric approach.
